Week of May 25
π Celebrating Our Raymond Staff & New Beginnings π
π As we close out another wonderful school year, we also say goodbye to several valued members of our Raymond family.
π Congratulations to Nurse Joan Abuhamad and Mrs. Angela Lee on their retirements! Nurse Joan has cared for our students with compassion and dedication, while Mrs. Lee leaves behind an incredible 20-year legacy of teaching and impacting generations of Raymond students and families. We wish them both a joyful and well-deserved retirement.
π We also want to thank Mrs. George for her support to our students through RtI math. Mrs. George will be returning to Commonwealth as a 3rd grade teacher next year. π Maestra Gutierrez will also be returning to Commonwealth to take on a TK position.
π Lastly, after 7 years at Raymond, Maestra Montes/Herrera will be leaving to begin a new chapter in Sacramento. Maestra Montes/Herrera brought so much heart and dedication to our DLA program and school community and will truly be missed.
π We are so grateful for the impact each of these individuals has made on Raymond and wish them all the very best in their next chapter!
